Chapter 578 Chicken soup is poisonous
This year, due to Li Muyun's business, Li Er's private money increased a lot. The New Year's Eve celebration was very exciting. Although someone was not very popular, this kind of ceremony was still among the invitations and came to the court early.
At this time, the palace completely changed under the arrangement of the Minister of Rites, Li Xiaogong. Between the red walls and green tiles, colorful flags were waving, palace maids and eunuchs were weaving between the passages, and countless huge palace lanterns reflected the entire Tai Chi Palace like a fairyland.
Putting aside the court wife who was being entertained by Empress Changsun of Liangyi Hall behind, countless envoys from various countries in the Tai Chi Hall in front of him were talking about half-baked Tang Mandarin. That was a lively thing.
There is no longer the solemnity of the past when he was in court. More than ten palace singers sang and danced in the hall, and there was no distinction between the ministers from all walks of life. There were either one, two, or three or five people on a table, regardless of the official position, but only whether they were happy or not. The loud sound of drinking was covered with all the sounds of silk and bamboo.
Li Muyun hugged a jar of grapes in the corner and drank chewlessly. His eyes flew past everyone in the hall, and the smell of being drunk and awake.
Li Chengqian moved to him at some point, and his handsome face turned red. As soon as he met, he smiled and scolded Li Muyun: "Li Muyun, you, you bastard, I have nothing to do, but you are just going to cause trouble. I will get some president for me. If you don't pull me into the water, you will feel uncomfortable, right?"
Li Muyun shrugged, pulled Li Chengqian to sit against the wall, and said with some meaning: "This man must have something to do, otherwise he will have random thoughts."
"Tsk, I think you have any great opinions." Li Chengqian curled his lips: "Do you think I'm very idle? I'm not afraid to tell you, I used to be busy without touching the ground every day."
Li Muyun touched Li Chengqian's cup with the jar in his hand, then poured himself a mouthful and sighed: "You are just busy, can't you do some serious business?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I finally know why you are not welcome."
"Because they are all jealous of my talent?" Li Muyun asked back.
Li Chengqian made an admiration: "I discovered your second advantage again."
Li Muyun said shamelessly: "Okay, you can treat this as a secret. Of course, if you want to tell others, I can't do anything."
"Haha..." Li Chengqian and Li Muyun looked at each other, and laughed softly at the same time, and then turned into laughter after a moment.
After laughing, Li Muyun looked at an imperial guard standing not far away: "Hey, who is that, go get some ice cubes."
The imperial guard was slightly stunned and pointed at his nose blankly: "Me?"
"Yes, it's you!" Li Muyun waved his hand impatiently: "Go quickly, it's so easy!"
"I..." Hegan Chengji almost turned his nose up because he was so angry that he was the leader of the East Palace guard, but he was treated as a commander. This was something he had never encountered before.
Li Chengqian turned his head and glanced at him, waved his hand quietly, and finally turned around and asked Li Muyun: "What do you want ice cubes?"
"Of course it is used to cure wine. The grapes should be cooler to make them taste good." Li Muyun said with confidence.
"Okay, you're really bored." Li Chengqian thought that the guy who was in his body would surprise him, but it turned out to be such a boring thing.
Li Muyun sniffled indifferently and said with a tick, "When it comes to boredom, you have to work harder after New Year's Eve, and try to get those monks and Taoists as soon as possible so that I can get my land back soon."
Li Chengqian was silently corrected. He found that he had really underestimated this guy's shamelessness. He really pushed himself to the position of chairman of the management committee just to get his place back? Can he not solve such a thing as a first-rank prince?
But before he could say anything, Li Muyun continued, "You don't think I'd pushed this to you just to ask you to help me ask for the land?"
"Isn't it?" Li Chengqian asked back.
"Oh..." After a sigh, Li Muyun said disappointedly: "I really didn't expect that with the relationship we were in jail together, you would see me like this. I don't think about it, am I that kind of boring person!"
"Yes." Li Chengqian replied with great certainty.
"Haha..." Li Muyun laughed dryly, held the jar and poured himself a sip of wine. After a meal, he said: "You have never thought that the people around Jingji have collected so much land, so what about other places? If this continues, the phenomenon of land annexation will only become more and more serious. On one day in the future, if the people have no land to plant, what will happen? Have you ever thought about it?"
Li Chengqian's face changed, he put away his laughter and said seriously: "I believe they should not have that courage. If this is the case..."
"What can you do? Send troops to attack? Kill them all? You have clearly discovered the problem, so why don't you plan ahead in advance? Do you have to wait until you are terminally ill before you can solve it?"
Li Chengqian stopped talking. Land annexation has always been a big problem. The land occupied by Buddhism and Taoism is only a small part, and a lot of land is in the hands of aristocratic families and wealthy families. If this is touched, the consequences will be no better than poking a hornet's nest with a bare butt.
Thinking of this, the prince of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said Uncle Xiaoyao, are you trying to put me on the fire?"
"If God will give a great responsibility to this man, he will definitely suffer his will..."
"Stop, stop talking, I understand." Seeing Li Muyun preparing to hang his book bag, Li Chengqian quickly raised his hand to surrender.
Li Muyun continued with a chuckle and said, "You are the prince. You must dare to face all challenges, climb to the top, take over the banner from His Majesty, and then the Tang Dynasty will reach the top again."
"Yes, you just stand and shit and don't hurt your waist." Li Chengqian gave him an angrily glance.
You know, he has heard many times that the masters say that his ears are about to be called out after a long time, and as long as he hears them, he will immediately develop a rebellious mentality.
Li Muyun patted his shoulder: "Grudge your teeth and persevere. There are still many troubles like this in the future. If you can't hold on now, you will be ruined in the future."
"Should I thank you for your encouragement?" Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, obviously preparing to drink this bowl of poisonous chicken soup.
